 Storytelling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So the good storyteller must give the reader a good dose of feeling the chaos, and there has to follow enough order made out of the chaos to give the reader the satisfaction of a good story.
Biblical scholar Pamela Tamarkin Reis (2001) proposes that the non-linear approach to storytelling in Genesis provides an almost perfect balance between giving enough clues to keep the reader engaged and leaving most of the story to the reader.
She illustrates the point when she says "good labels raise questions and get people thinking." The voice telling the story makes a great difference.

 Storytelling!
The difference between read aloud and storytelling (or story re-telling, as is the case here, since we are working from children's trade literature and less from original work or family history) is that the act of storytelling is always active and inventive.
This is not necessarily a reflection of the storyteller, of course; most children are gifted at squirming and yawning.
And storytelling creates a love of story that translates into a potentially life-long love of books the same way read-aloud does.

 Squirrel Inc: Seven Highest Value Forms of Organizational Storytelling, business fiction
The principles of traditional storytelling were described several thousand years ago by the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, in his Poetics.
Needless to say, when this book talks of storytelling, it isn’t talking about fairy tales or the traditional stories that are told to children.
Among them are springboard stories that communicate complex ideas and spark action (discussed here in chapters 1-2), stories that tame the grapevine (chapter 7), stories that share knowledge (chapter 8) and stories that lead people into the future (chapter 9).
